Native Yoruba Voice Actors needed for Language Learning Video Game
Project Overview
Journey Within: Lexicons & Lore is an open world video game that teaches languages through cultural immersion. Players explore, make choices, and talk to NPCs in the language they are learning. We are casting native speakers to voice those characters, because learners deserve to hear how the language really sounds in the community that speaks it.
